definitely their strength come from Dagmar Krause; she is the best

And Georgie Born (cello) and Lindsay Cooper (woodwind instruments) were
members of the Art Bears too, so in fact three women in that band.

Plenty of great female voices in prog folk: Pentangle's Jacqui Mc Shee is fantastic and new group Faun Fables is great as well. Canterbury band National Health's Amanda Parsons (only the debut) hasn't been mentioned yet.
Other favorites: first Curved Air. Then the rest: Spirogyra, Pierrot
Lunaire(on Gudrun), Comus, Trees, Kate Bush, Babe Ruth (and sometimes Renaissance).

IONA : all their albums are good, especially 'Beyond these shores'
Not prog but I think EVA CASSIDY (RIP) deserves a mention : she was equally gifted in playing blues, jazz and pop.
I think the best female vocals are in :
folk/country (CLAVETO ARNEODO (from LI TROUBAIRES DI COUMBOSCURO), MADDY PRIOR, who has a brilliant solo career, MAIRE BRENNAN, JACQUI MCSHEE, SANDY DENNY, LINDA RONSTADT, EMMYLOU HARRIS, LUCINDA WILLIAMS, JONI MITCHELL)
black music [soul, gospel, Mbalax, vocal jazz] (ARETHA FRANKLIN, RANDY CRAWFORD, BETTY SWANN, CANDI STATON, ROBERTA FLACK, VIVIANE N'DOUR, MAVIS STAPLE, MAHALIA JACKSON, BILLIE HOLIDAY)
pop/rock (ANNIE LENNOX, ALANIS MORRISETTE, DEBORAH HARRY, NENA, DOLORES O'RIORDAN, BONNIE TYLER, TOYAH WILCOX, TORI AMOS, KATE BUSH, CHRISTINE MCVIE, JANIS JOPLIN)
world (HUONGH TANH, GLORIA ESTEFAN, CESARIA EVORA, LILA DOWNS)

I thought this was a thread about bands that only have (or had) female
members. An excellent example was the Feminist Improvising Group, which
consisted of Georgie Born (cello), Lindsay Cooper (bassoon, saxes and oboe),
Irene Schweizer (piano), Maggie Nichols (vocals) and Sally Potter
(vocals). It is an open question whether their music could be called
prog, but Cooper and Born were involved with the Canterbury scene (both
were members of Henry Cow and appear on several albums of Canterbury
artists), and drummer Mani Neumeier was a member of the Irene Schweizer
trio before he founded Guru Guru.

I'm a Miranda Sex Garden fan (As a fact I added them to Prog Archives last summer <http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAND.asp?band_id=2214> ), but they are not an exclusively Female band, they had a female vocalist who is not other than the great Katharine Blake (Founder of Mediaeval Baebes) on lead vocals Jocelyn West (Replaced by Donna McKevitt in vocals, violin and viola), Kelly McCusker (Replaced by Hepzibah Sessa in vocals and keyboards) and much later the also Baebe Teresa Cassella /vocals and bass). But the band also played Ben Golomstock (Guitars, organ, bass, vocals) and Trevor Sharpe (Drums, percussion, bass).
I thought we were talking about pure feminine bands, if not would have mentioned:
- Magenta: My all time favorite band with a female vocalist
- Renaissance: Very close second and of course
- Miranda Sex Garden
BTW: Mediaeval Baebes is an extraordinaire Celtic Gothic (Not Goth) Medieval inspired vocal band with a lot of reasons to be considered Progressive Rock if it wasn't for the lack of Rock component as in their predecessor Miranda Sex Garden, that's the reason why and even when I have all the info ready for their addition, still haven't decided, probably will go to Prog Related instead of Prog Folk unless their latest album has enough Rock blending as they have spoken.

Pure Reason Revolution  I don't think Nightwish qualify as prog - if so, you'd have to include Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil, Epica, After Forever, Leaves Eyes, The Sins of Thy Beloved, Theatre of Tragedy....etc, etc..etc. Great Gothic Rock / Symphonic Metal but prog? Nah!  Anyway, best not say anymore as there's a whole thread devoted to the Nightwish debate.

I do not
understand what is so special about Ars Nova. It seems
evryone loves them, when in truth, a much more talented prog rock
outfits that deserve to be discussed on PA.
Imo, They have experienced unwarranted popularity on this site. |
well thanks for sharing that hahahaha.... I do enjoy that type of
logic... lots of people like this group but I don't...so it must be
unwarranted popularity... good job buddy...

 The Great Kat?, Arch Enemy?, Spice Girls?, Paris Hilton?, the Simpson sisters?
With terrific male musicians behind Annie Haslam, Renaissance made quite a few good recordings.
They make a couple of stinkers too in the late seventies with Cameral Camera.

PAATOS 
CURVED AIR seems to be a great band with a female lead singer too, but I have just found their early works, and some of their repertoire is still unkonw to me. I like that sometimes Sonja even streches out of the normal feminine context (like their performance of "Propositions" at Belgian TV). She realy can afford to do that! 
RENAISSANCE is nice band, but there are many more obscurer folk acts with great female vocals, TREES, some FAIRPORT CONVENTION, TUDOR LODGE, SPIROGYRA, EMTIDI and CAROL OF HARVEST come into my mind now. I believe Sean would know many such bands more!
